Default grounding kits

i like the idea and concept of a grounding kit but i hate the idea of having a bunch of ground wires all over the engine bay. is there anything out there i can buy that does the same thing as having wires everywhere but without actually having it clutter up the engine bay?

Option #1 Attend therapy for your wire hating. Learn to love wire as one of god's creations.

Option #2 Learn not to hate the playa, but hate the game. Wire ain't dun nutin, aint gonna be startin nuttin. Don't be hatin on no wire.

Option #3 Cope

Option #4. Carbon nanowires. Still conduct electricity, but since they are nanowires they are invisible to the naked eye. Tell everyone you have them all over your engine in a crazy spiderweb/fractals pattern your cousin came up with on his MAC. Be amazed at how many people claim they can see the spiderweb/fractal pattern now that you told them about it/pointed it out.

you can always go with a fatter gauge wire then use zip ties to neatly arrange the wire similar to what i did to my kit..

oh come on, i'd take better pix if i had a more decent camera. i tried to make it at least presentable by editing the pix to contrast the darker colors of the engine bay.



as for the aftermarket stuff, what's wrong with that? the only non-functional mod i have there is the oil catch can which i put coz it gives more personality to the engine bay. the stabilizer and grounding kit is there coz the car is old and i have a sound system at the back. i've also installed a 4-2-1 that isn't pictured in the pix above.



sorry if it doesn't float your boat but i was replying to Sirus' question about how to go making the grounding kit neater.

hey man, it's cool. sorry i got admittedly huffy. what got to me was the "SAD SAD joke" part, i guess i was just too quick to assume (and get offended) that you were ragging on my car coz of the aftermarket parts i put in (wherein, in reality, you were commenting on the picture quality).
